I'm planning on traveling to Israel at some point or another, and I don't know the emergency services number.
What is the Israeli equivalent of the American 911, or the British 999?

1I won't roll back your edit, @JoErNanO, but I don't think that it was necessary. I thought my question was fine in the original version. – Shokhet Mar 29 '15 at 17:39

1@Willeke: Questions do not have "personality" and, indeed, emergencies are not a joke. Anything we can do to correct this misapprehension that joking about emergencies is okay, great! – Lightness Races in Orbit Mar 30 '15 at 10:49

This Anglo List webpage on the topic carries information on various useful contact numbers in Israel, including emergency numbers:
Note you can also use 112 to contact emergency services in many countries including Israel, in which it is callable from mobile phones only.

I think 112 is only available from mobile phones there (as mentioned in the picture as well). – Relaxed Mar 29 '15 at 16:58

According to the linked wikipedia article on 112 it's availability from landlines and mobile phones is country-dependent. – JoErNanO♦ Mar 29 '15 at 17:06

2Yes, but I meant in Israel as, in the context of the question, the last sentence of your answer could imply it could be used on landline there. – Relaxed Mar 29 '15 at 17:13
